             Summary: Make the dag number available in Context classes
                 Key: TEZ-2368
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TEZ-2368
             Project: Apache Tez
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Siddharth Seth
            Assignee: Siddharth Seth


Provide the dag number, which is a unique number, for each dag running within 
an application in the TezInputContext, TezOutputContext, TezProcessorContext.
When containers are re-used, or for external services, this can be used to 
generate intermediate data to a dag specific directory instead of an 
application specific directory, where it becomes difficult to differentiate 
between different dags.
The DAG name does provide this - but is not suitable for use in a directory 
name. Hashing the name is an option, but can lead to collisions.
Generating data into a dag specific directory will eventually only be usable 
when we move away from the default MR handler, or enhance it to support an 
additional parameter.
